I don't know why several coaches don't foul in that situation.
Maybe you should just leave it at that then?
Arkansas held Texas to 19% from the field for the entire second half. The Hogs were EXCELLENT on defense last night.
It's six of one, half a dozen of another. Do you turn the final seconds of the game into a free throw shooting contest? Maybe, but your own team isn't hitting even 60% of them. Forcing Texas to take a deep three for a chance to tie was the right call, IMO.
Credit to that Texas player. That was a big time shot.

Its just bad. No way you lose up 3 with 9 seconds left and the other team rebounding a free throw. No way.
Just an aggressive move for the ball when they cross halfcourt and either steal the ball or foul.
No WAY you let them shoot a 3 point shot.
Not even touching all the other fundamental issues including the inability to inbound against a press.
SO much talent...with an actual coaching staff we'd be contending in the SEC this year. As it is....mid tier.

It’s the little things that frustrate me like dribbling the ball off of your foot out of bounds (twice), missing a layup, missing a dunk, etc. Those add up, wouldn’t have been close at the end if not for them.
Between that and free throws we shot ourself in the foot a lot.

Lots of those in NWA. Thats why they are afraid to come to LR

Well when the game was lost on free throw shooting and people rush to blame the coach, you have to wonder.
Nevermind the fact that we were up 3 with Texas in the bonus with less than 10 seconds left and we didn't put them on the line. Great coaching.

Texas clanged open 3s and missed layups under the basket all night. We should have won that game. If Texas hit even a portion of the shots we left open last night, they win by 10 at least.

Wasn't there a situation just like this against Vandy 2 year ago and he chose not to foul as well? I believe we won but he was criticized by the announcers and analysts after the game.

quote:Yep. It makes zero sense not to foul there. Why would you give the other team a chance to tie when it's that easy to guarantee that they don't without having to at least fight for another rebound?

What if we hit a portion of our open shots?

In general most coaches are stubborn. For a long time many coaches wouldn't take that strategy even though the "math" said it was the smart choice. Now it seems like most coaches foul there and recognize it is the smart play most of the time, especially when the team has to travel the full length of the court and you know you aren't going to foul them while shooting.

So we would have still lost?

So the coach had us in position to win, but the players couldn't execute... Gotcha

I remember Vandy fouling Macon and then he made all three free throws and we won the game.

Go watch the timeout with under a minute that MIKE takes. Texas huddles around their coach and discusses what they're going to do to end the game. Every Arkansas player on the floor walks straight to the bench and starts talking amongst themselves while Mike stands off to the side whispering to other coaches for the entire duration of the timeout. Lo and behold, Texas knows what to do at the end of the game better than we do. Shocker.

I know about that game but that isn't what I'm talking about. I'll try to find it later, might have not been Vandy.

Yeah no shite, so you wanted them to foul with time on the clock, meaning there are several different scenarios that could have played out. Forcing them to take a deep three was the right call, it just didn't work out. Stop trying to act like you're smarter than a coach with decades of experience.
